Ubiquitin-like modifier that increases cell-surface expression of kappa-type opioid receptor through facilitating anterograde intracellular trafficking of the receptor. Involved in formation of autophagosomal vacuoles. Whereas LC3s are involved in elongation of the phagophore membrane, the GABARAP/GATE-16 subfamily is essential for a later stage in autophagosome maturation.

We performed glutathione s-transferase (gst) pull-down assays using extracts from hek293 cells overexpressing an ha-tagged nbr1(d50r) mutant, which lacks the ability to bind p62 (lamark et al., 2003) (figures s1a and s1b, available online), and gst fusions of six human atg8 homologs: gabarap, gabarapl1, gabarapl2, lc3a, lc3b, and lc3c. Indeed, nbr1 interacted with all these members of the mammalian atg8 protein family

P62 binds both to lc3a and -b and the related gabarap family proteins/this interaction is necessary for autophagic degradation of p62-positive cytoplasmic inclusion bodies containing ubiquitinated proteins. We also demonstrate that alis are indistinguisha
